Name

OpenXPKI::Exception - central exception class of OpenXPKI.

Description

This is the basic exception class of OpenXPKI.

Intended use

OpenXPKI::Exception->throw (message => "I18N_OPENXPKI_FAILED",
children => [$other_exception],#opt.
params => {FILENAME => $file});

if (my $exc = OpenXPKI::Exception->caught()) {
## handle it or throw again
my $errno = $exc->errno();
my $errval = $exc->as_string();
OpenXPKI::Exception->throw (message => ..., child => $exc, params => {...}); } else {
$EVAL_ERROR->rethrow(); }

Please note that FILENAME will be extended to __FILENAME__. If you want to send a specific errorcode to the caller then you can specify errno directly like message, child or params.

New Functions

usually all functions from Exception::Class will be used. Nevertheless one function will be overloaded and on new function will be specified to support other modules with errorcodes if one is available.
